Miss Olowe

Hi guysss!! It’s been a long time! How have you been? (I usually don’t get any answer to this question😂). I hope you’ve been keeping well. I apologize for disappearing on you. Here’s my bribe for the long disappearance.  ———————— ‘Jeez. Why on earth do I feel so sad watching this movie? I have a very bad feeling this guy is gonna die. No freaking way, why would he go there? Oh no. I’m so not watching this movie’, I closed my iPad, picked up my phone and dialed my best friend’s number.  “Olureni Peters! Didn’t I tell you not to recommend tragedy or melodramas to me anymore? Girl, life is sad enough already, why would I want to watch something that would make me cry?”  She huffed and laughed, “Miss Omotanwa Olowe, always so dramatic aren’t we? Now, that movie wasn’t as bad as you make it seem.” “No really. Isn’t the point of watching movies to escape reality? I mean my life right now could make do with some escape anyway.”  “Tanwa. We can’t really escape from reality....

Welcome to Limitless ————— “Maami, I’m serious. I saw someone like daddy pass through the shop”, I said.  My mum turned abruptly, “ehn? You this girl. It’s only you that is always seeing. Better continue cleaning that place for me. Daddy ko, mummy ni.” I shook my head and turned back to the shelves I was cleaning. I fell into my chair like a log of wood when I was done. Cleaning my mum’s shop is not for the faint-hearted.  ‘Gbassss’.  This   door is closing for the third time for cry not loud. It should just stay in one place and stop annoying me. Mtchw . What kind of breeze is this? I opened it again and sat back in my chair. I laid my head on the table in front of me, letting my droopy eyes lead me to the beautiful land of sleep. I felt someone someone shake me awake. “My baby, wake up”, said the most loving voice. I jolted awake as soon as I heard. I smiled and screamed with delight, but no sound came out. I could feel my heart bursting with joy. He smiled to...

Welcome to Limitless! I feel like it’s been a decade since I talked to you. What have you been up to? Have you been well? I have been though. My birthday was last Sunday, and thanks to all you Limitless fam who wished me a happy one! I really appreciate it.   The story you are about to read is fiction. Enjoy!  ____________________ In the twinkle of an eye, he smacked me across the cheek so hard, that my head whipped to the left and the plate in my hands crashed on the floor. “Ahhhhh”, I held my cheek to reduce the burning sensation and shook my index finger gently in my now hot ear to clear the ringing sound.  “Tundeeee! You slapped me all because I asked you to help me out in the kitchen. I told you to let us get a house help to assist me, you said no. I go to work everyday like you, do you want to kill me? Am I your slave?”, I asked on the brink of tears. “Shut up! You are too lazy. A woman should be able to multitask. What’s there in plates that you cannot wash, or foo...

Tingles (4)

Welcome to Limitless!  —————————— I tried suppressing my smile but I ended up bursting into laughter too. This is one of the things I hate to admit that I miss. His contagious laughter. With pursed lips, I gave him a pointed look, before I got too carried away with his spell.    “Wale! What’s funny. Did I see wrong?” I asked. I watched as he dusted an imaginary speck from his trousers and looked at me with a smile. “Maybe you did. Do you remember Shally? Shalewa Johnson, my closest cousin that I used to talk about? Yes, exactly. That was her. She’s married now, and her daughter is the sweetest little creature I’ve ever met.” His eyes crinkled with a smile. “She wanted her favorite uncle to get her ice-cream but, her mum wanted to get something in town too. So, she tagged along.” “Ohhh” Realization dawned on me that I was in no place to ask him such a question. What if he was married for real? Well, he asked me out anyway. “I thought she was your baby mama or something”...

Welcome to Limitless. This is the third part of Tingles! Enjoy!❤️  ___________ “You want us to talk? The last time I checked, you were the one who wasn’t willing to listen to me”, I said. “Yes, I know. Look”, he said with remorse, “I was young and foolish. I wasn’t willing to look at things with a long term view. I admit that I was the one who did wrong and I’m deeply sorry. Can we meet so we can talk better?” “No way!” I shouted, “I already told you if you are here to turn my life upside down, I’m not in for it. I don’t want to have anything to do with you again” “I swear, it’s just this once Dide. I just want to see you and talk to you. Pleaseee. Okay. Just one hour. I won’t take your time, I promise”, he said.  “Erhmm. Okay”, I heard a loud sigh from the other side of the phone. “But, it’s just this once. Nothing more than that one hour. Where are we meeting?”  I found myself giving in again. I hated that this guy could still cajole me. How weak. “We could meet at the ...

Tingles (2)

Welcome to Limitless. This is the second part of Tingles. He was looking as gorgeous as ever. I hated that he still made me feel the same way. I felt a twinge in my chest at the sight before me. He had in his arms a little girl who had a big smile on her cute face. Then, he held the door open for a lady who threw her head back and laughed at something he said as she entered. Her laughter revealed a nice set of teeth and dimples. The little girl joined in laughing and his eyes crinkled as he grinned too looking at them. I smiled sadly.  The grace he walked with could not be missed. He had become taller and huge. The last time I saw him was that day .  He looked around the restaurant as if looking for a waiter. But his eyes landed on me. Huh? What’s that look? Is that pain I see? Definitely not. I cleared my throat hoping the lump in my chest would leave too.  I lifted the wine to my lips again and gulped heavily hoping my heart would stop being such a nuisance. It was beat...

My Limitless Familyyyy!!!🥺❤️ Happy new yearrrr!!! I look forward to giving you premium and better content this year. I’m just so hopeful that we would do so much more than we ever imagined this year! Don’t forget, baby steps. It’s time to start that thing you’ve always wanted to start. It’s time to be more focused. Fingers crossed, things will turn out fine.  Okay, before I start ‘aspire to perspire and require’😂. Let’s get right into business. The story you are about to read is fiction. Enjoy!❤️ “Yay! Cheers to a new year!” I chorused with my friends. The three friends that are the closest to me. Four of us have been inseparable since our Secondary school days. Now, that we are working, we always made time to hangout.  “Guys! I’m so happy for a holiday like this. I had to pay another nurse to fill in for me this night. I can’t come and kill myself.” Remi sighed contentedly. I looked at her glowing smooth face and could picture it covered in beads of sweat.  “I know rig...

Room-hate

Welcome to Limitless! The story you are about to read is fiction. Wait, what? I jolted out of my sleep as the strawberry fragrance of my bath soap reached my nostrils. I thought I was dreaming, why can I still perceive this fragrance in real life? I sat up and heard the shower running.  Oh! That must be my annoying roommate, she probably bought the same soap. She came out of the bathroom and I was shocked by what I saw. Isn’t that my towel? I looked up to where I hung mine but it wasn’t there. I stood up to check outside, maybe I forgot to bring it inside in the afternoon. To my disbelief, the towel was nowhere to be found! I entered my room again and just stood by the door trying to sum up what was going on.  “Oh, Kike, I quickly used your towel and soap because mine is in Lola’s room downstairs,” she said with no remorse.  What did I just hear? “What?! You didn’t use just my towel, you even used my soap. Are you crazy or what?” I replied with growing fury.  “Ahnahn...

Feyinti: The Finale

Image
W elcome to Limitless! This is the final episode of the Feyinti Series.  Did I hear right? Did I just hear this guy say baby? I closed my eyes and calmed myself.  “How are you doing?” he asked again much to my annoyance. “How am I doing? Are you really asking how I’m doing after the stunt you pulled? Make it make sense Jide,” I started to wonder what game he was trying to play. “Care to explain what you posted on your WhatsApp status?” I spat out.  Then, he answered, “Oh, what did you see?” At that point, it was like cold water and fire right in my chest and belly. I was getting really infuriated. “Are you seriously playing dumb right now? Was it your ghost that posted happy 20 years anniversary or whatever?”  “You are exaggerating! It’s just 6 months. It’s not like I deprived you of love or anything you wanted during those 6 months. I mean, you didn’t exactly notice. So, why are you so pressed?” Immediately Wunmi heard this because the phone was on loudspeaker, she ...

The Undoing

Image
Welcome to Limitless! This is the third part of ‘The Feyinti Series’.  It’s been three weeks since Jide pulled his ‘peace offering’ stunt. That day was the last day we had an actual conversation. He has been so distant. Meanwhile, Alex and I have been growing closer. I just love his vibe because we connect on so many levels. We had exchanged numbers about two weeks ago. He makes me laugh so much and he is just the sweetest. I had not gone out with him yet, not that he didn’t ask but I just felt like I couldn’t do it since I was in a relationship. Wait what? I choked on the water I was drinking and shifted my gaze to the wall in front of me. I blinked twice to make sure I wasn’t hallucinating.  ‘Happy 6 months anniversary LOML’ was the caption at the bottom of my boyfriend’s post. 6 freaking months! He was facing the camera with a grin while a girl’s hands were wrapped around his neck with her back to the camera. I could only see her wig and earrings coupled with Jide’s wide sm...

Feyinti’s Choice

  Welcome to Limitless!  This is the second part of Feyinti’s Dilemma. Enjoy❤️ “Hey, thanks so much for offering to give me a lift” I said in a very enthusiastic voice. “It’s no problem! I’m Alex and where do I drop you?” He replied gingerly. “I’m Feyinti and I live in the estate just after this street, Hope that’s your route too” I asked. “No Feyinti but I don’t mind dropping you off if you don’t mind” He replied with a hint of care in his voice. “Oh! Thanks, I would love that since it’s even raining.” “Is that Asa I hear?” I asked as I heard the soft music playing. “Of course! I love her music so much.” He answered “Wait what? No freaking way, I love her tooo, I mean, her voice is so soothing! Have you listened to Lucid?...” We kept on talking about our tastes in music, our side hustles, the schools we attend.  I was surprised at how we could say so much within five minutes. The way we instantly clicked was a mystery. He was so cool with a different kind of energy. Plus...

Feyinti’s Dilemma

Welcome to Limitless!  The story you are about to read is fiction. Enjoy❤️ I closed my eyes and stood with my hands wrapped around my stomach. The cold shower was doing a good job in keeping my mind engaged. Memories of when I first met him started playing out. I still remember it like yesterday. He was a new student in my secondary school.  I had heard of a new student being in school the day before and how girls were fawning over him but I paid no attention. Seeing him on the assembly ground the next day made all sorts of feelings start running through me. Immediately our eyes met, I felt a very loud thump in my chest. My heart was racing and I could feel my palms getting colder. I had never felt that way towards any guy. He was wearing jean trousers, a white t-shirt and a red jacket because he had not yet collected his uniform. He was so handsome, in fact, the most handsome boy I had ever seen. I had to take my eyes off him when I saw that he caught me staring again.  ...

Jilted in a weather for two

Image
Hellooooooo!!! Welcome to Limitless. I’m sooo excited to see you here again! I hope you are having a nice weekend.  Today, I’m gonna be telling you the story of how I got jilted😂. The same heart that had flutters got shattered! Premium tears, guys! Sigh.  In case you don’t know, I’m a hopeless romantic. I love romance movies, romance books, romance stories and all things romance. So, you can imagine how much I would love all what I watch and read become a reality for me.  That’s how on this cool day, I was going through my phone and a message from an unknown number suddenly popped up.  Sweetheart, it’s not all these annoying texts that you get and you block the person instantly😂. Immediately I saw this one ehn I was just like ‘wow, I’ve not even talked to you yet and you are giving me flutters already, okayyy!’ So, we started texting almost everytime. I text or call him any free time I get and he does too. He is not like all these people that just leave you to gues...

My Scary Experience with Miss Koi Koi

Image
Yayyyy!!! I get to talk to you again! Hello there sweetie. I hope you had a productive week. Welcome to your resting place, Limitless. Story story, once upon a time! (You were replying in your head right😂). Today, I would be telling you about my very scary but interesting experience with Miss Koi Koi. I stayed in the boarding house during my secondary school education. If you did too, you probably know the different stories we hear about spirits or ghosts that haunt hostels. For example, bunk shakers, the hanging man, bush baby and of course, Miss Koi Koi.  In case you’ve never heard the story of Miss Koi Koi also known as Madam Koi Koi, I would explain briefly. Miss Koi Koi is a legend about a very fashionable lady who was a teacher at a Federal Government Secondary School. She was known for her red lipstick and the signature pair of red high heel shoes she always wore. She was very mean and saucy making her one of the most feared teachers. The real deal started when she had a br...
